Anyone buy there own TPS Program tool?

I would like my own TPS programming tool. I have two sets of wheels and don't want to drive to the tire shop to swap them.

I see a few on ebay for $40 and was wondering if anyone had tried them?
IF you have one that works what one do you have?

You can find them all over the web for various prices. I tried a cheap one, and it delivered and didn't work, so I went back to a more expensive seller.

Perfect. That is the modal I found as well. Will get it from a trusted store and not China. Thanks.

just make sure to position the little black extension on the tire rubber where the tpms sensor is located. It will not work if you just plop it anywhere.
